If you push the same button again
while the tailgate is opening or
closing, three beeps sound, the
tailgate stops moving, reverses
direction and stops in the fully
opened or fully closed position.
PANIC－Press and hold this
button for about 1 second to attract
attention; the horn will sound, and
the exterior lights will flash for about
30 seconds. To cancel panic mode,
press any other button on the remote
transmitter, or turn the ignition
switch to the ON (II) position. Panic
mode does not work when the key is
in the ignition switch.
Remote Transmitter Care●
Avoid dropping or throwing the
transmitter.
●
Protect the transmitter from
extreme temperature.
●
Do not immerse the transmitter in
any liquid.
●
If you lose a transmitter, the
replacement needs to be
reprogrammed by your dealer.
Replacing the Transmitter Battery
If it takes several pushes on the
button to lock or unlock the doors
and the tailgate, replace the battery
as soon as possible.
Battery type: CR1616
To replace the battery:
1. Remove the screw at the base of the transmitter with a small
Phillips-head screwdriver.
NOTE: Be careful when removing
this screw as the head of the screw
can strip out.
2. Separate the keypad from the transmitter by pushing any button
from outside.

to break into your vehicle or remove
the audio unit. This alarm continues
for 2 minutes, then the system
resets. To reset an activated system
before the 2 minutes have elapsed,
unlock the driver's door with the key
or the remote transmitter.

sets 15 seconds after you lock the
doors, hood, and the tailgate. For the
